Out of Surgery

Quintin had surgery to repair his achilles today, and he is doing fine. Because it has been over five months since he hurt it initially, he had a lot of scar tissue and the tendon wasn't healing the way it should. So the doctor went in and cut out the bad part- the doctor said that his achilles was kind of like a jelly filled doughnut where the tendon had gotten infected and mushy. (Sorry about the gross description but that is the way he explained it to me) Then he pulled the good parts together and sewed them really tight. Luckily he didn't have to completely sever his tendon and re-attach it...If this doesn't work, then that will be our only option left. He can't put any weight down on his foot for about three months, so as you can imagine getting up to our house on the third floor should be fun. Monday morning he has to go get his cast put on, then in about three weeks he should get his trusty walking boot back! Abby will have fun drawing on his cast...I will post some pictures of him later this weekend...gotta run for now.
